- Accepted: Congratulations - they are inviting you to join and be a part of their college/ university
- Declined/ Rejected/ Not Accepted: For whatever reason the college did not feel that you would be a good fit. While it is understandably disappointing, please remember that there are lots of colleges and universities out there who will be lucky to have you on their campus, so don’t give up on finding a good match.
- Decision Deferred: The college is not sure yet… usually they will tell you what additional data/ information they are interested in receiving to help them make their decision. The most common piece of data they will look for are senior year grades at the semester time. I sent mid-year reports out with your transcript to all schools on Common App, but if you applied to any colleges not on Common App that defer you then I'd suggest you come in and request to have your mid-year report sent to them using the transcript release card in Mrs. McDaniel's office.
- Wait List: The wait list is not a denial, but it is not an acceptance either. Colleges use wait lists as insurance to make sure that their freshman class will be the appropriate size. If enough students decide to attend, the college will not accept anyone off of their wait-list.
Please remember that we track admissions decisions, but for most colleges the only way we know of the decision is if you come in and inform us, so please, be sure to stop in and let me know as you hear back from each school.
